Moons, none of that was news to me. I've been keeping tabs on this perversion of nature as it unfolded over the years, and running my own small cow/calf farm for a little over 10 years now. At least I know the hay I feed isn't a GMO product, and there's no pesticides or herbicides used on my hayfield or pasture. It's all I have control over and can change by my actions and choices.

What bothers me is that they hold a patent on their gene modification, and it has been shown their trans genes have already corrupted pure strains around the world,
Then that means their patent covers everything, and they own food.

Besides all the poison they've put into our environment for decades, that's what bothers me the most.

And possibly the loss of diversity forever.

Yep. And there's already some resistance being shown to the glyphosate by the weeds it was designed to control.

Plus they are buying up small seed companies, left and right, further limiting our ability to have non-GMO seeds for our own use.

We are animals, it's toxic to us.

Burn it all down.

Check this out. Knight of Malta John F. Queeny is said to be founder of Monsanto.

According to the Count in Venice, John Francis Queeny—founder of The Monsanto Company—was a Knight of Malta. Irish-American Roman Catholic Queeny (1859-1933) founded the company in 1901 within the Jesuit stronghold of St. Lewis—hosting the Black Pope’s Saint Louis University since 1818. This is the same year J. P. Morgan, Papal Knight of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, founded U.S. Steel Corporation and in 1911 would appoint Knight of Malta John A. Farrell as its president.

How much effort does it take to strike a match.
It's a figure of speech but the meaning is sound and correct.

Burn it all down.
